PPG Aerospace Expands Operations in Japan
PPG Industries expanded its aerospace operations in Japan by relocating its application support center to a site in Miyoshi that supports increased production capacity, adds warehouse space and affords new service capabilities.
PPG ASC-Japan is now located at 1123-1, Komochimatsu, Kurozasa, in Miyoshi Kurozasa Industrial Park. The new site includes a 1,994-square-meter manufacturing facility and office as well as an 890-square-meter stand-alone on-site warehouse.
The move expands PPG Aerospace capabilities as Japan’s role as a major aerospace center continues to grow, according to Paul Bowman, PPG Aerospace general manager for Asia Pacific. PPG established operations at its former application support center in Handa City in 2005 after serving the Japanese aerospace market from a Tokyo facility.
The ASC repackages sealant in packaging designed for easy application without waste. It also provides PRC(R) seal caps used in the aerospace industry to seal fasteners with reduced waste and higher quality. In addition the new ASC offers color-matching and local blending capabilities for aerospace coatings.
Founded in 1883, PPG has global headquarters in Pittsburgh and operates in nearly 70 countries around the world. Sales in 2012 were $15.2 billion. Web: ppg.com ©2013 GlobalFastenerNews.com
